One of the oldest dynasties in the history of the Chassidic movement, was also one of the pioneers to strike roots on American shores. Karlin-Stolin - which also had one of the oldest Chassidic communities in the Land of Israel - was a unique group back in Europe as well. One of the sons of R' Yisroel Perlow (1869-1921), (the "Yenuka" of Stolin), R' Yaakov Chaim (c. 1897-1946) answered the call of the Karlin Chassidim in the United States and immigrated in 1924.

A fatherly figure, he died childless while visiting his followers in Detroit. He was soon followed by his only surviving brother R' Yochnan (1900-1955), who arrived in 1947. Between the two of them, the foundations of the rebuilding of Karlin-Stolin were laid in the new world.
